Chapter 38: Parents
Lan Jiawei took the bag in Lan's mother's hand, wiped the tears from his mother's face, and shouted with red eyes: "Mom." Or Dad Lan looked at his son with relief and said, "Let's go, don't get in the way of others"
Lan Jiawei was let go by Lan Ma's mother, and led everyone to the wall first, and then shouted "Dad", Lan Qing's eyes were also red. Then he shouted to Cheng Wu, who was red-eyed: "Uncle", as for his aunt Yao Fen and cousin Cheng Wei, who were not very good at dealing with him before, they also shouted very politely, let the previous things go away with the wind. As for Lan Jiawei's grandmother, he remarried when he was very young because his grandfather died, so he wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
Lan's mother stopped crying at this time, and complained to her son: "Silly boy, leave the girl's house aside, don't introduce it quickly"
Lan Jiawei glanced apologetically at Chiyo, who had big red eyes, "Honey, don't mind"
"It's okay, I'm so sad to see you do this for the first time", Chiyo Tachibana gently touched her lover's arm.
Next, of course, it was introduced, and Lan Ma smiled very happily when she saw the diamond ring in Chiyo's hand, and she was beautiful and sensible across Chiyo, and she liked it very much. Dad Lan and Cheng Wu were also smiling at this beautiful girl from the side.
Lan Jiawei came to his senses: "Let's go with me, we have our own car", after speaking, he carried a few bags in front of him to lead the way, while Lan Ma pulled Chiyo and chatted non-stop.
Chiyo Tachibana only determined at this time that Lan Jiawei was indeed more genetically inherited Lan Mama, similar in height and face, very kind, and also chatted with Lan Mama in Chinese. Others, including Dad Lan, muttered in their hearts: "Isn't this Japanese?" Chinese is so good".
When everyone got into the RV, they were all stunned, and Cheng Wu "tsked": "Boy, are you buying a car or a palace?" How much did it cost?"
Lan Jiawei replied while starting the car: "More than 4 million US dollars, uncle, aunt and uncle, you are free, I don't talk when I drive, there are quite a lot of people here."
Chiyo poured some drinks for everyone over there, and Dad Lan said: "Loser, it costs so much money to buy a car", and Mom Lan listened and stopped: "What's wrong with my son having money to buy a car?" If you have the ability, you can buy it."
Chiyo didn't have such a family experience, and when she saw that Lan Ma was silent when she saw Lan Dad, she curled the corners of her mouth and couldn't help laughing. I thought in my heart: "It's still a mother-in-law who has a way to tame her husband, do you want to learn?" No, JAVY has a soft personality on the outside and the inside, so I don't eat this."
A few people led by Chiyo to the open-air leisure space on the roof of the car, comfortably looking for a seat, drinking drinks while enjoying the street view of Los Angeles, Cheng Wei said enviously: "This is life."
After a while, the car was parked in the parking lot of the villa, and everyone got out of the car and turned around a few times and was amazed, and Lan Ma looked at the villa proudly: "Look at my son's life, it used to be like living in a pigsty." Dad Lan inevitably muttered in a low voice again, but he didn't say it, saving his wife from giving face.
Lunch is the best time for thousands of representatives, Lan Jiawei accompanied his relatives to sit on the leisure chair outside the house, Lan Ma pulled her son to ask about the progress of the two, there was nothing to hide from her mother, Lan Jiawei said honestly, Lan Jiawei smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.
Cheng Wei exclaimed at this time, and found that everyone was looking at her with disgust, covered her mouth and whispered, "That's Brother Tang, right?" Oh my God", Lan Jiawei smiled: "In the past, Hollywood was not far away, and there were often celebrities coming, Sister Wei, you can go and take a photo with him, it's nothing."
Cheng Wei went over to take a group photo with great interest, and Xiao Tang saw that he was a guest of Lan Jiawei, who had often met in the past few days, so he happily agreed to take a group photo, and said hello to Lan Jiawei before leaving.
Cheng Wu shook his head on the side and sighed: "Xiao Wei, now my uncle believes in one sentence: if you want a person to have a temperament, just give him 5 million." You are the difference between heaven and earth now and before."
Lan Jiawei replied solemnly: "Uncle, you have been good to me since I was a child, only true relatives will have, no matter what happens to me in the future, you are my uncle"
Lan Dad, Lan Ma and Cheng Wu all nodded with satisfaction, but did not speak, and a trace of shame flashed in the eyes of Aunt Lan and Cheng Wei.
At this time, Chiyo had already made lunch, and everyone entered the restaurant with a view of the sea and the beach, sat down to eat, and everyone was full of praise for Chiyo's Japanese food, and they all praised Lan Jiawei for finding a good daughter-in-law, and Chiyo's big eyes smiled like crescent moons.
After lunch, when Lan Jiawei arranged for his uncle's family to rest and fell into jet lag, Lan Ma and Lan Dad grabbed the two, and Lan Ma took out a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets wrapped in layers from her bag, and said to Tachibana Chiyo: "This is what my mother-in-law gave me, and it is also the only valuable thing left by his Lan family, you are a good girl, I like it very much", and put the jade bracelet on Tachibana Chiyo's wrist after speaking.
Chiyo was very well-behaved, and when Lan Ma finished wearing it, she took the initiative to shout: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law", and each performed a Japanese-style bowing salute.
The old couple looked at their sensible daughter-in-law happily, and after chatting for a while, they were persuaded by Lan Jiawei to rest.
Noticing that everyone was wearing winter clothes, Lan Jiawei and the two discussed it, and decided to go to the street to buy a few pieces for a few people to come back, walked far away from the villa, found a corner, and saw that there was no one around and no camera.
Lan Jiawei took out the Bugatti Veil, both of them like this game of taking cars from the ring and loading cars, this secret that only the two of them know makes the relationship between the two parties closer. After going to a few clothing stores, Chiyo Tachibana was more sensitive to size than Lan Jiawei, and under her counsel, she bought a few new clothes for several people, and then the old ones, pretending to be a freshly discharged taxi when she went home, holding a few bags of clothes.
The two felt that it didn't take long, but when they got home, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and Lan Ma didn't bother to wait, although she almost got lost when she looked for the kitchen, but she still found it with the help of others, and also found the refrigerator, and she was already cooking.
Hearing Lan Jiawei and them coming back, Lan Ma came out and asked, "Son, why is there no rice here?" Is it just to eat vegetables? ”
Lan Jiawei said with a smile: "Mom, the United States mainly eats beef and pasta, you said that you can just eat vegetables, this is not a domestic place, just eat like that, it won't be wasted."
Mama Lan muttered and went into the kitchen again: "What a waste, rotten capitalism", Chiyo wanted to follow up to help, but was coaxed out by Mama Lan's kind words.
When Dad Lan and the others saw the mother and son showing their affection, they all consciously did not speak, and they all shook their heads helplessly after hearing the words.
Lan Jiawei handed everyone's clothes to everyone one by one: "This is the clothes that Chiyo helped choose, the temperature here in Los Angeles is almost all year round, and it is still very cold when you go to the farm, let's wear it first, Los Angeles will play for two days."
Cheng Wei took the clothes, looked at the sign, and exclaimed: "It's Prada", and after being glared at by her mother, she stuck out her tongue and went to the room to change clothes.
After everyone took their clothes into the house to change, Lan Jiawei went into the kitchen, "Mom, let's burn it later, I bought you clothes."
Seeing that Tachibana Chiyo didn't follow up, Lan's mother rubbed her son's face: "Xiaowei, Mom knows that you are lucky, and now there is no one here, Mom wants to say a few words, the money should be saved, and some will be kept for the future, just in case, you know?" ”
Lan Jiawei nodded: "Mom, don't worry, keep it, it's enough for a long time, here in the United States, you will be charged a lot of taxes if you deposit too much in the bank, unlike in China, you can deduct taxes if you spend it."
Lan Ma agreed: "That's right, if you keep too much, you will give it to others." You're old and have your own plans, Mom believes in you"
looked at his son's envious look, and his eyes were full of motherhood: "Good, go." Mom will change the rice when she cooks it, don't be in a hurry."
Lan Jiawei walked to the living room and saw his fiancée tidying up, putting everyone's bags on the rungs of the cabinet, and stepped forward to help. After a while, several people changed their clothes, and each of them became radiant, and then they all praised Chiyo's good vision.
Lan Ma's craftsmanship was very fast, and in more than an hour, she not only burned a large table of dishes, but also baked a lot of flatbread. After being urged by his son to change clothes, everyone happily opened two bottles of red wine and ate together.
The dishes cooked by Lan Ma are all Huaiyang cuisine, Chiyo ate it for the first time, and felt particularly delicious, and said to Lan Jiawei in English: "The dishes cooked by my mother-in-law are really delicious, you can go to open a restaurant"
Lan Jiawei glanced at his father embarrassedly, Lan Dad is a very comprehensive teacher, who has taught English for several years, and sure enough, the old couple muttered.
Lan Ma smiled and said to Chiyo: "It's good to eat if you like it, I won't go to open a restaurant, I'm afraid of doing business before."
Chiyo liked her mother-in-law's straightforwardness very much, and felt that it was very suitable for her spleen and stomach: "Mother-in-law, with you, we will be able to eat a lot of delicious food in the future, so happy"
Everyone laughed, and they all found that this girl was not only beautiful, polite, but also very simple.
